"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed."

Major Update: Pam Bondi Demands Voter Rolls in Exchange for Removing ICE as Alex Pretti's Family Blasts Trump Administration
We have a major update this evening, and well, surging ICE agents to places like Minnesota may not have been able immigration enforcement after all.Aaron Parnas (The Parnas Perspective)
"They are deploying pepper spray and tear gas indiscriminately. Photos from Minneapolis look like a war zone, not an American city on a Saturday afternoon.
Does this look like a street in the United States on a cold day in January?"

"'Meaning, trying to identify them via social media, running their license plates if available, and running a criminal history check,' the official explained.
The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct."

"The Department of Homeland Security has ordered immigration officers to gather identifying information about anyone filming them and to 'send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them,' a federal law enforcement official directly involved tells me."

ICE Making List of Anyone Who Films Them
“We have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.”Ken Klippenstein
"That threat relates back to a post I wrote two weeks ago about the risk Trump would use his NSPM-7 memo to treat citizens exercising their rights as though they were terrorists. Now it’s a reality."

"Today in Portland, Maine, ICE agents began videotaping people who were observing them. Apparently, they thought this was clever. When asked why they were doing it, the agent in the video below responds: 'We have a nice little database.' 'And now you’re a domestic terrorist.'”

"Now the visible targets of border enforcement are increasingly immigrants who have built their lives in the U.S. – neighbors, friends, co-workers – as well as anyone who opposes ICE’s tactics, like Renee Good."

"But Trump during his second presidency has greatly shifted immigration enforcement north into the interior of the U.S. And ICE has played a central role. ...
Americans may not know about the experiences of migrants who are quickly deported near the border, but it is harder to ignore recent images of people snatched up within their own neighborhoods."

"From 2010-2020, nearly 80% of all deportations were initiated at or near the U.S.-Mexico border. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that number jumped to 98%, as both the Trump and Biden administrations utilized Title 42, a public health statute that allowed the government to rapidly deport recently arrived migrants."

ICE immigration tactics are shocking more Americans as US-Mexico border operations move north
Militarized immigration enforcement used to be confined to near the US-Mexico border, far away from most Americans’ front lawns.The Conversation
"Trump is privately frustrated that chaotic scenes and protests in Minnesota are undermining his immigration message, with aides scrambling to shift focus from clashes and a fatal ICE shooting to highlighting arrests of alleged criminals, even as polling shows growing public concern that ICE tactics have gone too far and risks mounting political fallout ahead of the midterms."

"Donald Trump has built what his first term only suggested-an interconnected infrastructure of fear aimed at mixed‑status families and immigrant‑heavy cities. It is not just hundreds of thousands of deportations with a goal of millions; it is the way government has been remade so that daily life itself is risky."

Rupar:
"Obviously we've had natural disasters, we've had, you know, different sorts of tragedies that have befallen communities, but when you're targeted by the government that is supposed to represent you for kind of pretextual reasons that are obviously very political in nature… It's a really, it's just really surreal to live through that. It's nothing that I expected to go through."

David Nir talks with Aaron Rupar, who lives in Minneapolis and describes to Nir what it has been like living in a city occupied by lawless masked thugs. Nir states,
"This kind of collective punishment is absolutely part of the fascist playbook. It is something that Trump and Stephen Miller and Bovino all want."

“This #ICE situation is a nightmare for the Senate.🚨Cannot see a scenario in which Senate Dems can vote for this 6-bill pkg which incls #DHS funding. Govt shuts down Fri. First Senate procedural vote likely not until Wed, giving them limited room to maneuver. House on recess. Any changes to the bill would require the HSE. #Shutdown a real poss at this pt.”

GOP Senators must be rebuked for their allegiance to Trump & his ICE killing machine. Shut it down!

"What’s more, video evidence appears to show that ICE agents had already confiscated Pretti’s firearm in a scuffle before shooting him multiple times. …
The goal is submission and the strategy to achieve that goal is escalation. Miller, Homan and the leaders of ICE and CBP believe that they’ll come out on top at every step up the ICE/CPB escalation ladder."

"They’re communicating this to the protestors and activists and the communities in which they’re operating: the more you resist us, the worse it will be for you and eventually you’ll have to back down. …
They believe public resisters will eventually have to knuckle under. So they’re happy to keep escalating. Because they have more and bigger guns and eventually those who oppose them will have to give in."

"At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed the victim’s identity and said Pretti had no serious criminal history. O’Hara stated that law enforcement records showed only minor infractions, including parking tickets. Law enforcement sources reiterated Saturday that Pretti had no known violent or serious criminal background."
